font-family:Arial;color:#666666'>SANYO's next-generation nickel metal hydride
battery ‘eneloop’ 4pk AA NiMh 2000 mah batteries.<br>
<br>
Batteries have a property to release the stored energy in small amounts (this
phenomenon is called ‘self-discharge’). This property is particularly
noticeable in rechargeable batteries such as Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries
etc. as compared to dry cell batteries, hence disabling rechargeable batteries
from becoming batteries that ‘customers can use immediately after purchase’.
For this reason, rechargeable batteries couldn’t be used unless charged after
purchase and so lagged behind dry cells in convenience. This new product’s main
property is that it has introduced great improvements in self-discharge
properties (residual ratio after one year of non use is 85%*4, in temperature
conditions of 20 degree Celsius according to SANYO research). Through this
breakthrough development, SANYO has realized a rechargeable battery that can
challenge dry cell batteries in user-friendliness through features such as
making possible use immediately after purchase or once charged, its ability to
be used anytime.</span></font></p>
